About K. Panich Sticky Rice

K. Panich delivers Bangkok’s benchmark khao niao mamuang—unadorned, rich with coconut cream, and backed by over eight decades of craft. Operating since 1932 on Tanao Road, this Michelin Bib Gourmand fixture skips modern dessert-cafe gimmicks in favor of exact fundamentals. Grains of steamed glutinous rice retain their chew under a pour of salted, fragrant coconut milk, paired with sweet sliced mango and a dusting of toasted mung beans. The ordering drill is half the charm: claim a ticket at the historic shophouse counter, pay 130 THB, and step across the asphalt to the open-air partner smoothie shop. Staff ferry plates directly to your low table under ceiling fans, best paired with a cold, freshly blended fruit shake.

  • Benchmark Sticky Rice: Steeped in fragrant coconut milk with a balanced sweet-savory profile, the glutinous rice retains a distinct chew beneath toasted mung beans.
  • Decades of Heritage: Operating since 1932 on Tanao Road, the heritage shop holds multi-year Michelin Bib Gourmand status for its traditional execution.
  • Split-Shop Dining Routine: Guests order at the historic shophouse counter before crossing the street to eat under fans at a partner fruit smoothie shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you sit to eat?

You place your order and pay at the main storefront counter, where you receive a ticket. For dine-in, head across the street to the dedicated seating area at the smoothie shop, where your dessert is brought over and drinks are available.

What comes with an order of mango sticky rice?

A single portion includes sweet ripe mango, sticky rice soaked in rich coconut cream, and crispy mung beans or sesame seeds on top. Portions are generous enough to satisfy one or two people as a light snack.

Can you get mango sticky rice to go?

Yes. The shop operates mainly as a takeout counter, packaging sticky rice and mango for takeaway. Because fresh coconut milk is used, it is best enjoyed soon after purchase.

Is parking available at the shop?

There is no parking directly in front of the storefront, and street parking along Tanao Road is strictly prohibited. If driving, plan to use nearby paid parking options such as the Chao Pho Suea Shrine lot or J Park Giant Swing.
